About

Terra Kaffe is revolutionizing at-home coffee culture by bringing the elegance and mindfulness of European espresso to American countertops. Founded in 2018, the brand emerged from a simple but significant gap in the market: high-quality, convenient espresso machines without the sky-high prices of traditional super-automatics.

With a background spanning finance, electric vehicles, and a deep appreciation for coffee’s role in everyday rituals, Terra Kaffe’s founder sought to create a machine that blended sophisticated design with unparalleled ease of use.

The result was the TK-01, which laid the foundation for the brand’s current flagship model, the TK-02—a machine designed to seamlessly fit into modern lifestyles, whether users are upgrading from pod machines or seeking a premium espresso experience without the hassle.

Challenges

  • Terra Kaffe’s priority for 2025 is expanding offerings for repeat customers, focusing on increasing Lifetime Value (LTV) by providing coffee, accessories, and care products tailored to their needs.
  • Their previous platform, Yotpo, lacked flexibility and customer support, making it difficult to maximize word-of-mouth potential.
  • With a high-consideration, high-AOV product, referrals were a crucial acquisition driver, yet their existing system wasn’t optimized for success.
  • They sought a partner, not just a provider—a team that would actively support their goals and provide insights to continuously improve their marketing programs.

Solution

  • Terra Kaffe transitioned from Yotpo to Okendo to improve user experience, increase engagement, and receive the hands-on support they needed to refine their approach for referrals and reviews.
  • Okendo enabled Terra Kaffe to structure its $100 referral incentive for new customers and $50 for referrers, ensuring that high-value word-of-mouth marketing was maximized.
  • Integrated with Klaviyo and Kustomer, Terra Kaffe now triggers referral reminders 10 days after product delivery—perfect timing for customers who have already experienced the quality of the TK-02.
  • With Okendo’s guidance, Terra Kaffe revised its approach to review collection, seeing an immediate improvement in the volume and quality of customer feedback.

“Okendo has been a game-changer for us. Their support team understands our brand, helps us adapt our strategy, and delivers results. We immediately saw an increase in engagement after making the switch.”
